EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "CANADA: FUR TRADER. Courier Du Bois" transports us back to the 19th century in Canada. Created by renowned artist Frederic Remington in 1891, this drawing beautifully captures the essence of a fur trader during that era. In the image, we see a rugged-looking man standing tall with an axe and rifle by his side. His thick beard adds to his rugged appearance, symbolizing strength and resilience. Dressed in traditional French attire, he represents the iconic figure of a courier de bois - an adventurous French-Canadian fur trader who played a significant role in New France's history. Remington's attention to detail is evident as he expertly portrays every line on the fur trader's face and every fold on his clothing. The shading techniques used bring depth and dimension to this portrait, making it come alive before our eyes. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported into the world of these brave men who ventured into uncharted territories for trade purposes. Their journeys were filled with dangers but also opportunities for discovery and adventure. "CANADA: FUR TRADER. Courier Du Bois" serves as a timeless reminder of Canada's rich history and its connection to the fur trade industry that shaped its early development. It invites us to appreciate the courage and tenacity of those who paved the way for future generations in this vast land known as Canada.
